Colorado Board of Education District 4

Tim Krug will fight for safe schools, supporting educators, and providing ALL students in EVERY public school the opportunity to pursue and achieve ambitious goals.

Reform System Failure

Colorado's educational system is broken and is not a sustainable model for success. Our current system prioritizes vendors over taxpayers and lobbyists over students. Failed reforms have
pitted schools and parents against one another in a "winners and losers" model where the losers are taxpayers, teachers, and families.

Since lawmakers forced Betsy DeVos-style reforms on Colorado schools, salaries for teachers have plummeted, administrative costs have skyrocketed, segregation has increased, transparency
decreased, and Colorado districts have seen dozens of schools close.

Parents Vs. Politicians

More than a decade of false promises and failed education reforms in Colorado have wreaked havoc on students, teachers, and taxpayers. However, dark money continues to flow through special
interest groups to politicians willing to sell out Colorado communities to the highest bidder.

Tim Krug has consistently called out politicians who take money from dubious sources funded by Betsy DeVos and other profiteers to turn our kids into commodities. A line in the sand has been
drawn between local public education defenders and the profit-driven invaders.
